I never really think about this feature. I think the a preprocessor so=hould 
be included inside the compiler, just after or during the tokenization of the 
source code.

Note that at the moment, I found no need for a preprocessor in Gambas. Maybe 
this should be asked first on the mailing-list.

I mean using the getopt_long() GNU function of the libc so that the Gambas 
developer just have to specify a list of options, the component doing all the 
work.
